Abstract

It is an object to correct a frequency deviation at the time of reception of a digital signal in which each carrier is subjected to phase modulation and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). A vector of fixed pattern symbols for reference of received carriers is multiplied by a vector of conjugate complex numbers of the defined values for each element. In the result, elements separated by the same numbers forward and backward from an element at a particular carrier frequency are multiplied together and the results are added. The same processing is applied to cases in which the elements of the vectors are mutually shifted by a plurality of elements from a certain correspondence and synchronization control to the broadcasting frequency is provided on the basis of a value which maximizes the absolute value in the results of the addition and the correspondence at that time.
